The Safelite contact center opened its doors in February following the company’s announcement last summer to expand to the facility on 4300 Sprint Boulevard — a location previously held by Sprint. At their first announcement, Safelite officials said they expected to create 893 jobs by 2019; by the end of the company’s first two months of operation, Feeney said Safelite had hired 800 full- and part-time employees. Of the 800 jobs, more than 500 employees have full-time positions.

“We have already hired 800 people, payroll in excess of $20 million, have spent over $10 million on infrastructure investment so, not a bad first start, huh?” he said.

Hull presented Feeney with a Safelite Boulevard street sign near the end of the ceremony, following the governing body’s decision last month to change Sprint Boulevard’s name to Safelite Boulevard.
